Teacher expertise and credentials

Hi, I am Coach Carlos, and I want to make you the next Bobby Fischer.
I am a United States Chess Federation player with 10 years of coaching experience. As a coach, I have worked with over 2,500 students and numerous organizations.
Now, I am eager to share my strategies with you.
I believe anyone can be a chess player if they have the right instruction. In my classes, students learn more than how to play chess; they learn how to be creative players. With my emphasis on creativity, students learn how to think outside the box and utilize numerous strategies. After working with me, students will be prepared to enter tournaments and be successful players. 
I teach all levels and ages. My beginner classes are perfect for students ages 4-9 years. In my beginner classes, we will focus on the basics of the game, building a strong foundation for their future. For me, it is not about what the student knows; it is about their commitment. I always say, "Practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice make perfect.”
If you want to begin learning chess, or develop your skills, please enroll in one of my classes. 

The next move is yours!
